A TURF SCANDAL
Which Would Raisc Row if
Made Public.

1hduc Il uDfiCs
Special to the Globe.
New YORK, June 23.-Three inches of
rain fell hereabouts yesterday and to-
day, and the storm continues tonight.
In consequence the Sheepshead track is
canal of mud. The storm kept away
the crowd, and so few people were pres
ent that most of the booknakers did no
business on the Coney Island derby. nor
were auctions sold on any of the races.
Even mutuals suffered, for only sixteen
tickets were sold On Hanover and one
on Oneka and the money was returned.
The sporting resorts in this city were
crowded, however, with diSgruntled
betters, uwhOse principal theme of dis
cuSsiOn was the wretched starting of
the previous day. The burden of it
was that three of the six races yeSter-
day were decided by the starter. The
start in the fifth race was so bad
that even Caldwell couldn't frame
an intelligent excuse. Some Of
his partisans said that because of some
nervous trouble his arm involuntarilE
dropped. This explanation cannot
sound pleasant to those who invested in
the chance of the other horses. 1t was
indeed a strangely suspicious act to see
the starter give an outsider in the bet
ting lead OF nearly ten lengths, with
only six horses in the race, and not only
to give this particular brute such fly
ing start, but to leave the favOrite i'm
such a place that it was not possible to
win. 1t was good thing for the book4
makers. The favorite in the third race
was also virtually left by the fall of the
flag, and the start in the first race was
enough to make lover of racing weep.
The suggestion was made to-day that
Capt. Conner, of the st. James hotel.
would make an excellent substitute for
Mr.. Caldwell. He would, indeed, and as
he has the confidence of the owners,
trainers, jockeys and the public his ap-
pearance on the course would give
great satisfaction. Another topic dis
cussed so very privately that only few
facts leaked out concerned threatened
racing scandal so hideous, it Vas said,
that if proven would give racidg i'm this
country blow from which it would not
recover in dozen years, indeed if in a
generation. The statement involves
men SO prominent in racing and with
regulations SO good that only absolute
proof could insure the publication of the
names and facts Of the conspiracy.

Kennedy's pitching was wild throughout
and it is a wonder the visitors were not
given much worse trouncing. St. Paul
is credited with ten bona fide hits, six
bases on balls and twelve long flies to
the outfeld. Dillon's catching was the
subject of much favorable comment.
His record of eleven put-outS
and an assist is something
to be proud of. He also rounded up an
otherwise clean days work with three
pretty singles. Cleveland'S third-base
play was brilliant, his catch of foul
dy after long run being an especially
fine piece of work. McCauley. Pickett
and Crooks had All off day in the field.
The former, however, reached first five
times in five times at bat. Viau de-
serves credit for cutting off Kennedy at
first from right field on what seemed Il
safe hit, and Murphy's base stealing
was superb. For the visitors Meinke
and MOriarity both did what they had
to do well. but all the rest were pretty
badly demoraliZed. Miller slipped up
on four chances out of ten, and Hardie
sulked throughout the game, missing
two or three opportunities for put outs
by indifferent work. The score is as
follows.

The following account of anNim- promptn duel, with fatal termination, which occurred at Kingston, New Mexico, is from the Silver City Enter prise of the 9th inat. It is of interest to people of Gila county as ene of the principals, Con Ryan, formerly lived here, in Globe and at McMillen, and is a brother of our fellow townsman William Ryan. The several accounts of the affray published in the King ston and other papers exonerate Ryan from blame, it appearing that the fight was forced upon him.
 Judge John NJ. Wright, who re- turned Wednesday night from King ston, gives the Enterprise the parhe- ulars of a duel to the death between Con Ryan and one Burke, who de- lighted in the sobriquet of "the Terror of the Black Range " They werg both well known mining mon, They had been quarreling all night, and about 6 o'clock in the morning Burke said: 'Lot us fight it out like men; get your gun" Ryan said he didn't have gun Burke answered that he would furnish him one, and the two men went together to Burke's house, at the head of the main street. Burke procured two 45s and stepped up to the fence threw one of them down on the ground, remarking: There's your gun" That's no way to do, said Ryan; "you can shoot me while I am picking up the gun. Be sides, l don't know that it's loaded Burke then threw his gun down on the ground, and the two men picked up the guns together While Ryan was examining h,s gun to see if it was loaded, Burke fired at him twice without effect Ryan then leyeled his gun and quickly took deliberate aim and fired, when the "Terror of the Black Range" fell dead. The ball struck little to the left of the bridge of the nose and passed out through the back of the head. Ryan was placed under 5000 bonds. It seems to be the general opinion at Kingston that Burke received his just deserts.
